I need to change tires on my daily tomorrow, i have a sweet set of g78x14's and got to thinking, do i need tubes? I'm pretty sure they should be stock wheels, and from the outside i cant feel a safety bead but i've never really paid attention.

How old are the G78's ?  If over 6 years you should not use them, especially on a daily, regardless of good tread.  For a daily driver, it would seem that radials are the answer.

59's should have been tubeless from the factory, so tubes not necessary
